Anyone got a pic - or a link to - that pic of the Ozzie big game hunting trophy gatherer proudly standing beside his latest bull elephant kill.
Shot (ever so skillfully - NOT) with one of mans most moderns weapon of mass destruction - which happens to be banned in Australia. I wonder what he does with it when he comes home from his killing sprees.
The guy that represents us in the NSW parliament is the one Im after.
Seen it a few times but now cant find it?
Needing a project.
Pls PM if you have copy or a link.

Im onto it - thanks guys.
Seems theres a bit of sprinkling of anti-ballsack sentiment springing up here & there.
Maybe its time to bring them together & get this trophy hunting moron off our public payroll.

This picture is a ****en disgrace and extremely disturbing
. The elephant most probably caused no threat I dont think he is going to eat it Dont believe they are vermin???? SO WHY THE **** KILL IT? Poor thing was probably standing up eating some grass when the coward shot it in the head. The country of origin is probably just as ****ed as him.
He is a cold blooded killer obviously no remorse Should be charged with murder.
Bigman preys on the weak and vulnerable Id so love to give him a face reconstruction.

When I read the thread title I though hey that's totally random and was looking forward to reading the post and getting a laugh of some sort, but I was sadly mistaken. 'Hunting' an elephant is totally ****ed up and I can't possibly see how anyone would obtain joy from it. I can't see any skill in it at all either, aim, squeeze trigger. Geez surely it's like trying to shoot at the side of a shed.

I agree with the general sentiment and think ol ballsack is a terrible human.

- However -

It's a complex issue. Lois Theroux did a special on canned hunts in South Africa, well worth a watch. Some of the key points were that for every animal hunted on these canned hunt farms, a certain number had to be bred and released into the wild.

There is currently a major fundraiser to save the rhino happening in the US and elsewhere. It's one of those big bucks raffles, like $1000 per ticket or something. The prize? To shoot a rare rhino.

Distasteful in the extreme, and yet when you think about it with cold logic, it's really not that bad. These animals die in the wild every day, that's how all the carnivores eat. 1 carefully selected kill can provide US $500,000 - 1,000,000 for conservation of the rest. If they select an older, dominant male with a number of rivals, his herd will be opened to a younger, more vigourous male who ought to impregnate more females. Who else will happily donate that kinda money, but rich white US 'hunters' ?

There are areas I have seen first hand in Malawi and Zambia which have been decimated by herds which are too large for the areas they are in. It leads to malnutrition and slow death to the whole herd. I spent time in nyika national park and they conduct culls here. The population is healthy and the villagers keep the meat for food with the ivory stamped and sold legally. This destabilises the ivory trade as well. It's never a nice thing to see but with the urbanisation of vast tracts of Africa which used to be the migration paths of the elephants the need for the parks to control numbers is essential. You cant sit at your computer in Australia and try to impose your ideals on what is right and wrong in an african country. If you attach a big monetary figure to an animal which would usually be poached for a couple of hundred dollars of ivory on the black market then the locals will protect that animal rather than allow it to be poached. yes it tickles the high and mighty sensibilities of western style conservation but I've seen it in practice and it works.

Couldn't agree more, if the hunter is willing to pay thousands of $ that can be used to maintain the parks and conservation work, I approve of the practice.

It doesn't change the fact that anyone who would get any kind of enjoyment killing such a noble animal would have to a be an absolute $%^k head and wouldn't it be a great way to sort out people for a bit of human culling

Good work Shane ! There is NO excuse what so for this elephant to become "TARGET"Complete lack of COMPASSION.
I feel sorry for them even at the zoo !

I actually bought an elephant kiss from Perth zoo for a family member who was in hospital after visiting it probably one of the most random gifts you will ever give someone but it was a hudge hit ! Even with the HOT nurses !
Pop down to perth zoo some time there let them elephants take your heart away !

But killing something to BBQ it is totally different to killing something because you think it'll make a cool photo...... isn't it?

Vegans do unspeakable things to cauliflowers.

Each to their own, most people are happy to kill insects for piece of mind, fish for fun, chicken, cows, tuna, pigs, goats...... They actually have a problem with elephant numbers on some of the game reserves, so this guy would have been "selected" by the game keeper for a reason. Just like the delicious angus beef your eating for dinner.

After the elephants are killed, they normally give the entire carcas to the local villagers which is eaten and made into products thus fulfilling the circle of life.

Yep - he may have shot it for fun, but it was almost 100% eaten, not just left there to rot. I don't see the problem.
